Louwman Museum

The Louwman Museum in The Hague is a true paradise for car enthusiasts from around the globe. Its collection is not only impressive but also exceptionally rare and carefully curated.

It all started in 1923, when Pieter Louwman began importing cars from the United States. What began as a passion evolved into a family legacy. His son Evert expanded both the business and the collection. Today, the museum houses over 250 vehicles—ranging from early motorcycles to iconic luxury classics.

What sets this collection apart is not just its size, but its diversity and quality. A highlight is the 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupé—a masterpiece of Art Deco design. With its sleek silhouette and exquisite detailing, it is one of the most iconic cars ever built.

But the Louwman Museum is more than a showcase of beauty and speed. It also tells the story of mobility—from the invention of the automobile to the cutting-edge technology of today. In the Netherlands, the rise of the car began in the late 19th century, with imports from France and Germany. The museum presents a rich overview of how the car evolved from a rare status symbol into a daily necessity.

It’s not just a museum—it’s a journey through the history of transportation.
